I want to go on a three day flush to wash out toxins and stuff by drinking just water before i start eating healthy but i dont want to traumatize my system or anything. Is that too unhealthy?? isn't that like a juice fast only with water for three days??

There are no "toxins and stuff" in your body that can be "washed/flushed" out.
That's disinformation and harmful.
Many nutrients are needed on a daily basis.
If you'r starting to eat healthy, get informed on how to do it.
You also need upper n lower body wt training to create the resistance that build/maintains good bone density.

A good multi vitamin/mineral is Rite Aid drugstore chain’s Central-Vite. It's USP certified [United States Pharmacopeia] for Potencies, Disintegration/dissolution & Weight. Look for the letters USP on the label of all vits, mins & some supplements like fish oil, it may be in small print, and see which categories are certified: potency, disintegration & weight, hopefully, all three will be. http://www.usp.org/USPVerified/dietarySupplements/

The body is self-cleaning. A 3 day flush is starvation. Juice fasts and the like are stupid. There's no point. Just eat more fiber. That will clean out your system.

Forget food plan I devour like a horse and I best weigh 9 stone. This is what works for me: Eat ordinarily, if feasible each 3 hours, whilst your frame realises that it is getting a constant deliver of meals it raises it is metabolism, burning energy faster and is way much less prone to retailer energy as fats. When consuming attempt to devour plenty of prime protein meals and do not pass too difficult at the carbs. Try pass effortless on trans and saturated fat even though you're allowed the strange deal with. Drink tons of water! At least one gallon in step with day. Tea, espresso and fizzy beverages are O.K however they don' depend in the direction of your total water consumption. As for recreation I perform a little gentle weight coaching 4 days per week and cardiovascular (I use a rowing laptop) 2 days per week with one days leisure. There is a natural notion that doing cardiovascular recreation on an empty belly is helping burn energy. This is absolute garbage don't do it. Weight coaching is a well proposal as muscle mass burns plenty of vigor, even even as you sleep. You do not have got to come to be Mr/Mrs universe however any fats tissue which you'll convert to muscle mass won't best make you appear greater however develop your metabolism. Getting tons of sleep may be primary whilst looking to construct muscle. Good Luck
